[...] l shouldn’t write this. The devil on my shoulder is insisting I not to tell you. I should keep it to myself, and let it be my little secret. But the rational angel wins out, reminding me that the Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington is already news and I’m late to the game singing its praises. Pete Brown has already expressed delight, as have Boak and Bailey. [...]

I’m totally with you on the inexperienced-barstaff-pouring-lovely-head-away-just-because-some-take-it-to-the-top-idiot-harrumphed problem. Increasingly prevalent. While the perfect (southern) head sits like the immovable face of the moon (craters included) above the liquid, anything less than 100% will form a fairly horizontal foam and should not be completely poured off just ‘cos one customer in 50 sniffs at not getting 100% liquid. Spot on.

Looks good and sounds interesting, so i will have to pay a visit. In fairness, though, I might wait awhile till the teething problems are sorted.

Think I’ve now sorted the OpenID thing, but can someone let me know if not?

Schlenkerla on tap – that’s different. I’ve been having the same issue with the OpenID tag, too.

I’ll look into that OpenID thing — I had to set it up so I could comment on Zak’s blog but wasn’t aware punters at ours were seeing it when they tried to comment too.

I’ve never had the problem with headless beer in the north (or the midlands, for that matter). It does seem to be a particular issue in London.

Bailey- I am afraid you are hoist by the petard of Southern serving methods, lack of proper cellar skills and poor training. I am constantly frustrated by both in London.

What’s this ” Authenticate this comment using OpenID”? Unless I remember to uncheck the box – and I didn’t know I had to – I lose the comment and have to rewrite it!
